Mac'n'cheese is one of those dishes that is really tasty on day 1, but becomes a congealed mass on day 2. Actually, it becomes a congealed mass about an hour after it's made. You'd think that it would microwave OK, that the sauce would re-become saucy and whatnot, but no. It just kinda gets gross and oily and the pasta turns to mush. It's not my favourite leftover.
Now, if you fry leftover mac'n'cheese, it's a totally different story. A nice crust forms and you get a lovely crunch out of it. But, you know, the break room doesn't have a stove top or even a hot plate and I'm guessing that keeping one at my desk would violate some fire safety policy or something. Which means that I won't be having fried mac'n'cheese at work.
For "dessert" I had one of those low-fat Greek yogurt thingies that promise a decadent, creamy texture without loads of fat, gelatin or cornstarch. I gotta say that it wasn't bad, but it still lacked the fatty mouthfeel of full fat yogurt. But I probably shouldn't be eating full fat yogurt. Or at least the guys in the office tell me I shouldn't. Apparently even though they down Wendy's burgers for lunch, they are very health-conscious.

I'm all for full fat yogurt. I'm not sure it's useful to have a vendetta against fat, in any case. I suspect it keeps one not-hungry for longer.
ReplyDeleteIn fact I had a full-fat Greek yogurt for lunch today (fig). Unfortunately, I don't actually like figs.
